King James Loney hit a one-out, bases-loaded single in the bottom of the tenth to even the series. King James delivered the walkoff heroics after Andre Ethier was IBB'd to load 'em up. Losses from the Padres, Giants, and Rockies also made this a nice night for a victory. Jonathan Broxton pitches a scoreless ninth and tenth (the Nats scored in the first but not again in the game), and Matt Kemp barely missed what would have been his fifth career grand slam in the fourth (it still scored one off the sac fly and another off a throwing error to an uncovered first base). So it took an extra inning for this offense to eke out a third run; hey, we'll take it.
